I have a few questions regarding (or related to) the recent
SELECT INTO fixes in plpgsql.

* There hasn't been an official announcement as far as I can tell.
All I could find is a mention in David Fetter's Weekly News.
Is the risk so low it doesn't warrant informing users?

* What are the plans regarding 8.0.2? For example, FreeBSD users
who use portaudit cannot install the software ATM because the
port is marked FORBIDDEN; they're pointed at this page:
http://www.freebsd.org/ports/portaudit/6b4b0b3f-8127-11d9-a9e7-0001020eed82.html

* What the heck is up with http://developer.postgresql.org/cvsweb.cgi ?
The revisions in $PostgreSQL$ keywords in diffs are off by one:
requesting /pgsql/src/pl/plpgsql/src/gram.y.diff?r1=1.64.4.1;r2=1.64.4.3
gives me

If you cc me or remove the list(s) completely I'll most likely ignore
